Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The field of invention generally relates to solar modules. More specifically, it relates to a tubeless sun tracker system and a method thereof.

BACKGROUND
[002] Solar energy is one of the most widely adopted renewable energy sources, with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems being deployed globally to meet increasing energy demands. To maximize energy generation, solar trackers are used to orient PV panels toward the sun throughout the day. Single-axis solar trackers, which follow the sun’s east-to-west movement, have become the preferred choice for utility-scale solar farms due to their higher efficiency compared to fixed-tilt systems. However, existing tracking systems face several challenges related to installation complexity, land utilization, and structural stability, limiting their overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
[003] Most conventional single-axis solar trackers rely on drive tube mechanisms, where a long, rigid steel tube connects multiple trackers tables and synchronizes their movement. These drive tube-based trackers are typically installed in a linear configuration, requiring precise alignment and uniform terrain conditions. They are commonly used on large-scale solar farms and are powered by one or more motors that rotate the drive tubes to track the sun’s movement.
[004] Despite their widespread use, drive tube-based trackers come with significant limitations. The installation of drive tubes requires high precision to ensure proper functionality, as even slight misalignment due to uneven terrain can impact the system's performance. Conventional systems struggle with undulating landscapes, requiring extensive land grading and leveling, increasing both cost and environmental impact. Traditional trackers are constrained to linear or two-row configurations, making it difficult to optimize land use on non-geometric or irregularly shaped sites. The structural support required for drive tubes results in excessive steel usage, leading to higher costs and a larger carbon footprint. The rigid nature of drive tubes can also make the system prone to structural stress under high wind conditions, potentially leading to failures.
[005] To overcome these limitations, various alternative tracking mechanisms have been explored, comprising independent table trackers, flexible linkage systems, and wind-resistant designs. Independent table trackers eliminate drive tubes by equipping each tracker table with an independent motor; however, this leads to higher motor costs and increased maintenance requirements. Some designs incorporate flexible linkages instead of rigid drive tubes to enable greater adaptability on uneven terrain, but these systems still require high precision during installation and may experience increased mechanical wear over time. Certain tracker designs use reinforced structures or damping mechanisms to mitigate wind-induced instability, but they do not address land utilization or installation challenges.
[006] While these approaches have made incremental improvements, their scope remains limited to specific challenges and fails to provide a comprehensive solution. Most existing alternatives still suffer from either high steel consumption, complex installation, or limited adaptability to irregular site layouts.
[007] Thus, in light of the above discussion, it is implied that there is a need for a tubeless sun tracker system and a method thereof and does not suffer from the problems discussed above.

OBJECT OF INVENTION
[008] The principal object of this invention is to provide a tubeless sun tracker system that eliminates the need for drive tubes, enabling simplified installation and reducing alignment challenges on uneven terrain.
[009] A further object of the invention is to provide a sun tracker system that utilizes one or more steel cords in place of drive tubes, enabling flexible installation in diverse topographies without requiring extensive land leveling.
[0010] Another object of the invention is to incorporate a serpentine steel cord drive mechanism that enables the solar tracker system to be installed in a split table configuration and operated by a single DC motor, thereby optimizing land usage.
[0011] A further object of the invention is to integrate a crescent guide into the system that provides structural stability by distributing wind loads, ensuring durability and reliable operation even in extreme weather conditions.
[0012] Another object of the invention is to provide a sun tracker system equipped with one or more pulleys and roller bearings that facilitate a frictionless drive mechanism, minimizing wear and maintenance requirements.
[0013] A further object of the invention is to enable the installation of one or more solar panels onto the crescent guide using at least one top clamping mechanism and bottom clamping mechanism, ensuring secure and stable mounting.
[0014] Another object of the invention is to enable the sun tracker system to be installed in at least one of North-South and East-West orientations, maximizing solar exposure based on site-specific conditions.
[0015] A further object of the invention is to provide a control unit that dynamically adjusts the sun tracker system based on real-time solar positioning data, enhancing tracking precision and energy efficiency.

[0038] The pillars 120 for mounting at least one of: the pulleys 106, and the DC motor 112.
[0039] The steel cords 110 functions as the primary driving mechanism of the tracker system 100, replacing conventional drive tubes.

By eliminating the need for conventional drive tubes, the frictionless drive mechanism enhances flexibility in installation, enabling the system to be deployed on various terrains without strict alignment requirements. This innovative approach reduces wear and maintenance while improving the longevity and efficiency of the tracker system.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the control unit 118 is positioned below the solar panel 114, for real-time tracking and movement control.
[0056] Further, an AI/ML-based controller is embedded within the control unit 118, utilizing historical solar data to optimize tracking. The system 100 accounts for variations in sunrise and sunset times based on GPS location and dynamically adjusts the solar panels 114 to maintain a perpendicular alignment to the sun, maximizing energy capture.
[0057] A sun tracker table is a structural assembly designed to support and optimize the orientation of solar panels 114 for maximum energy absorption. The sun tracker table holds multiple solar modules, securely mounted onto the crescent guide 104 using the top and bottom clamping mechanisms 116 for stability.
[0058] Each sun tracker table comprising multiple solar modules, is controlled by one single DC motor 112 and one control unit 118. For large-scale installations, such as a 1-megawatt solar plant, multiple tables operate in series, with each control unit 118 communicating with a Master Control Unit (MCU) centrally located within the plant. The MCU manages all control units 118 via a wireless communication system, ensuring synchronized operation.
[0059] Additionally, the MCU integrates a wind sensor that continuously monitors wind speed. Since solar trackers 100 are movable and structurally sensitive, wind management is crucial to prevent damage.
[0060] When high wind speeds are detected, the wind sensor transmits a signal to the MCU, which subsequently communicates with all TCUs to shift the solar panels 114 to a neutral "zero" position, aligning them parallel to the ground. This protective mechanism ensures structural safety against strong winds coming from any of the four cardinal directions, mitigating potential risks and enhancing system 100 reliability across varying geographic wind zones.

The system can be deployed in large-scale solar farms, where its tubeless tracker design enables efficient land utilization and ease of installation, even on challenging terrains. Its ability to function without drive tubes reduces installation time and complexity, making it ideal for rapid deployment in renewable energy projects.
[0073] The system is well-suited for distributed solar installations, comprising commercial and industrial rooftops, agricultural lands, and remote off-grid locations. Its adaptable design enables installation on varied landforms without extensive groundwork, ensuring cost-effective and efficient solar tracking solutions for diverse geographic conditions.
[0074] In utility-scale solar power plants, the ability to install the tracker system in non-geometric land layouts provides significant advantages in optimizing land use. The serpentine steel cord drive mechanism enables multiple split tables to be controlled by a single DC motor, reducing equipment costs and improving operational efficiency.
